Stampy, your post isn't odd at all. 
Have fun, learn a lot, all that. This thread is here if you need us.

My new thing I'm interested in is a person, so it's getting to be a bit stalkish
. I promise I won't stalk them though! The reason I made this friend/acquaintance person was because we are both planning to meet this person (it's a teacher) at Back to School night
. I promise I won't forget my homework either! That's part of the reason I'm cutting back down on my posts- I'm going to need to spend a lot of time this year on homework!
Thanks again!
You are a great friend.Oh "teacher"! ! So that's what we call people we like now! (JK):lol:

. I thought my post may seem a little "disorganized/psychotic." There's OCD for you

I'm still a little sad, though.
I'll be glad when I see you. But I'll be even gladder if you make lots of friends, and do well even in math.
Thank you for all your support
. It means a lot to me that people care.

. It wasn't anyone here that made me leave, but for some reason I have lost most of my interest here? I honestly don't have a clue as to why this happened, but now for some reason I am thinking a lot more about school and seeing my teachers. I also met a new friend/acquaintance person at camp, so I have been busy because we are planning a way to meet my favorite teachers at Back to School night. Sorry if this sounds very odd
! If you have special interests that change regularly, then you may be able to relate. I'm very confused as to whether I'm like becoming "not autistic" anymore or something like that. I may still post here sometimes, but for now my special interest has changed.Thank you all for all your support here
!You'll be back when your ready or how else will you overtake my posts. School is far more important and you have to get your priorities correct. You have been invaluable in me figuring out what is going on with me ( or maybe what is wrong with me ). And if I've helped you in any way it would just be a small fraction of the amount of help you given me. Hopefully speak to you soon StampySquiddyFan
You don't even know how much you have helped me, Ferris. I may not show it, but the amount of support and laughs you've given me has definitely helped me with my own OCD. I remember reloading the stupid General Discussion forum 10 million times and I would be so glad when I saw you had posted. I am so glad I was able to find you on this forum. I never thought I would find a person with my type of OCD/problems, but I guess I did
. I'm even doubting my ASD at the moment- we're the exact same person ! All I did was send you an article and you are the one who has given me so much hope and helped me figure things out. Especially when you passed the Hollow Mask Illusion . Maybe I'll never overtake your post count, but what I do know is that you are a very wise, smart, funny, and even caring person to a stupid hypochondriac worrying "teenager" (don't feel like one!
) like me. I promise there is nothing "wrong" with you in any way. I'll be around, so you might see me here sometimes !Yeah , we've had some laughs and some rough times and I do feel we are very similar with our issues. I'm glad I've helped as you have also helped me , after all this is a support thread. As long as you genuinely happy and are leaving here for a new special interest then I'm happy for you and wish you all the best but I'm sure you'll pop back when you can just to say Hi. and remember once a ferret always a ferret
Always, mate
. I am pretty happy at the moment, since my new interest(s) have helped the depression lift a little bit. That, and I've been reassured once again for my OCD by my friend (a different girl isn't on our bus this year- I sat with this girl when I was "delusional" LOL) . I'm glad I made this support thread. I even thought creating it was a dumb idea at first, but if it helps one person, then it's better than nothing, IMO. I'll stop in to say hi sometimes . #ferretsrule

Oh- I didn't lol! I meant that somebody wasn't on my bus that my OCD part of my brain considered "tainted." It's a long story. I've only ever told my mom and therapist, though

I'm doing "okay." I still have a slight depression/weird feelings that will hopefully subside once school starts. The paranoid thoughts were better until I read something here that triggered them. Hopefully I'll be doing better soon

I'm dealing with a lot of repetitive thoughts right now, so I'm reminding myself that it's just anxiety and feeling a bit better. I really don't feel like dealing with it, but if I don't, the thoughts and feelings just keep coming back. Really, it's Friday. The last thing I want to do is meditate or exercise or talk/write about my worries. Oh well, such is life for people with anxiety. 
Oh and I asked someone for reassurance the other day. I thought, hmm, I can deal with it myself which is harder, or I can just ask for one little bit of reassurance! Is that so bad now and then?

It's ok DataB4! You know that these thought are just anxious thoughts, and they can't hurt you or anyone else. It can be really hard in regards to reassurance. Sometimes I can be so unbelievably sad and hopeless with all my anxious thinking, and then that one bit of reassurance is enough to bring me back to my "normal." I know there is a problem with reassurance (it becomes a compulsion if you aren't careful),but I don't blame you for asking for a little bit. Sometimes it's all I need to keep going. These things can creep up on you, and it really sucks! Hugs, and I am hoping and praying you feel better soon!
